labor cost in China - 中国の労働賃金

雑談ベースで、中国人の若い女性と雑談で聞きかじって来たことをメモっておきます。

I'm going to jot down what I heard from a chinese young lady in beijing;


例えば北京市内のスーパーマーケットやレストランで働く場合、月のお給料は100元くらいが相場なんだそうです。

Fir those jobs like waitress, waiter at restaurants and bars, at a supermarket, etc...sounds like people earn something like 100 rmb a month.
(about 13 usd)


いや~、それにしても北京ではどこにいっても働いている人が若くて、中年のおばちゃんが働いてるのってあんまりみないよね~って言ったら、

I had always wondered where people in the middle age are...
At banks, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, beauty salons, gyms, department stores, etc, etc...I hardly ever see "middle age people" as if china only has peole in 20s.
So..I asked her why I didn't see many middle age people at those places.


1つの仕事にものすごい倍率で人が群がるそうで、その競争に勝ち残るのはどうも若い人が多いのだそう。

She told me getting a job is very very competitive here.
There are so many people rushing into a job.
If...if a middle age wins the severe race..she/he would get.



ちなみに定年年齢は男性が55歳で女性が50歳だそうです。
早くない?良いのか悪いのかわかりません。

I didn't know the retirement age for males in china is 55 years old and women at 50 years old.
Does that sound better or worse than getting retired at 65??


今日は銀行に行って家賃を振り込んできました。大家さんの銀行は他行なのですが。今年から新しく振り込み手数料というのをとることになったそうです。今日支払ったのは振込手数料は12元。

I went to a chinese bank today to transfer money (pay our rent!).
Our land lord has his bank account at a different bank to ours.
The girl behind the glass window told me they were gonna charge 12 rmb for the transfer as of their new law.


窓口のお姉ちゃんが、クション、クションとくしゃみをしました。
ーーー寒いもんね。雪昨日降ったし。。。
ふとお姉ちゃんをみると、

She started sneezing.
Fair enough it had been quite cold. We had a snow on the previous day.
Wait a minute, hey...sto.....

口元を私のパスポートで押さえてくしゃみをしてるじゃないですか! she was sneezing and putting my passport onto her mouth!!!叫び

やめてーとガラス越しに言おうと思いきや、更にくしょん、くしょんとやりながら(パスポートで口元を押さえて)奥に引っ込んでしまった。

I was to say "stop!!!", when she dis
